Seems this discussion was hijacked with some out of context questions.
In AOS8 (like in AOS6), the licenses on a single controller should 'add up' and are capped on the lowest number of assigned licenses.
Few examples:
100 AP + 100 RFP + 100 PEF =effective=> 100 AP + 100 RFP + 100 PEF
100 AP + 100 PEF => 100 AP + 100 PEF
100 AP + 100 PEF + 3 RFP => 3 AP + 3 PEF + 3 RFP
If you have a mobility conductor, you can use license pools to assign licenses from a pool to a specific controller, but still on that controller the same logics apply. If you just have 2 WIPS/RFP licenses, those will need to be on a separate controller because of this.

You would still need to use an AP license along with the WIDs/WIPs. Is this an AOSv8 environment managed by a Mobility Conductor?

I have 160 2 part wids/wips license, meaning they are AP and RFprotect, I have a new single 7240xm, since licensing is in a centralized single pool how can I use these License for a wid ? I also have AP license that are 3 part, AP, PEF and RFprotect. Licensing would be easier if I could create my own pools, such as a Wid/Whip pool and an AP pool since wid/wip license are cheaper.
